The press tour is like television in the sense that things follow each other in no particular order. One minute it’s Buzz Aldrin, talking about moon walking, the next minute it’s Georgia, one of the horribly abused Michael Vick dogs, now a loving poster child for pitbulls everywhere in a pink leash and rhinestone collar. Aldrin is part of National Geographic’s first annual “Expedition Week,” in November, which highlights seven nights of daring trips from the pyramids to the Amazon to a shipwreck to the moon.

Georgia is featured in NatGeo’s “Dogtown.”

Turns out I was too dismissive of Georgia in my previous post. She’s a testament to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Southern Utah, and to doggie survivors everywhere. She was quite poised as she put up with a gaggle of press.

Joanne Ostrow has been watching TV since before "reality" required quotation marks. "Hill Street Blues" was life-changing. If Dickens, Twain or Agatha Christie were alive today, they'd be writing for television. And proud of it.
